RockyMountainOySker Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I'm very confused by what is happening with Hill. Obviously I don't know everything that the coaches are working on but to back off Hill seems nuts. I highly doubt that we backed off cause we are in "good position" with Lucas, Harris, or Reese. I'm also surprised because we just extended a new WR offer to Kenny Bell. Could the coaches value Bell more than Hill? Hard to believe. Quote Link to comment
Judoka Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 So according to the NCAA, a Coach CAN write or call a recruit during both a Dead Period and a Quiet period unless I am missing something. I don't get this at all. Doesn't make any sense to me either. I always thought that there were no contact periods as well. Quote Link to comment

RedDenver Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Maybe Hill is telling the recruiting services one thing and coaches another. I don't mean this as if the kid is doing anything wrong either. He's just not under any obligation to give the whole truth to the media who are hounding him for information. Misinformation by the recruiting services is also very common. Don't treat their info as gospel. So it could mean almost anything. Maybe Hill is silently committed to NU but isn't ready to tell the world yet. Let's wait and see what happens before getting too concerned. Quote Link to comment

Crabtree NORMALLY knows what he is talking about. Not always. He did say that Austin Hill was an NU lock. I wouldnt imagine us just saying "oh sorry austin. we want tyler evans to play your spot instead of you." No disrespect to Tyler, he is a great athlete in his reguard and I wish him the best at NU. But Austin Hill is one of the best WRs we are in one. Something is not right about this. I have said it in a lot of other threads. Dont underestimate the staff. Also, dont think that Bo Pelini doesnt know EXACTLY what he is doing. Quote Link to comment

I have a sneaking suspicion that Hill will be N due in part to his cousin Andrew being here already. Hopefully this will be the case? It'd also help our chances with snagging Aaron Green next year as well. Quote Link to comment
mdhusker2010 Posted December 21, 2009 Share Posted December 21, 2009 I don't know but something sounds a little off. I hope we didn't back off this kid and I don't see any reason why we would. Any further insight? Quote Link to comment

BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 BTW some goober over on Huskers Illustrated is bagging on our site and this thread in particular. Thinks some people are just interested in Hill in hopes of getting Green. Thinks others may be attacking Hill too harshly for his statements. Actually both are true. We'll see how it plays out and I hope Hill is in the class in the end. Quote Link to comment

I think he'd be a great addition to the program along with Enunwa. As for Aaron Green, I'm with EZ-E and also think that he'll be N when it's all said and done, with or without Hill.

Nexus Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I wish Mr. Hill luck in his career at Zona. Quote Link to comment
EZ-E Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 The word is that he was much shorter and slower than originally listed. Quote Link to comment
